Too much ice on the sidewalks; too little motivation. This was not an inspiring run, but I'm glad I got out and did it. It was cold, but I was warm. I never really got out of a slow pace. Last week's unshoveled sidewalks are now covered in uneven ice, so sometimes I was running over that, sometimes I was running in the snow on the grass, sometimes I was going up and down driveways to run in the roads. Overall my average was 9:59. Even my last mile, when I was running in the clear road, was only 9:21. But on the plus side: I am off school today. I doubt I'll run outside, though. The few inches we got last night are now covering that ice from yesterday--but it's still there and now it's invisible. Plus we're getting more as we speak.
